Description
The Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes was founded in 1999 by the Bruges couple Isabel & Hugues van Poucke. In 2012 the Chinese importer Xiaoning Yu bought the Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes from the Van Poucke's. Together with his friend and beer aficionado Michel Simon, he decided to invest in the former Brasserie d’Ecaussinnes. Substantive work was done to update the production and refresh the image of the brewery. In 2014, the introduction of a new team gave a young and modern dynamic to the brewery and the name was changed into Brasserie Scåssenes. In 2015, the brewery launched its own revolution….the 1830.
In 2020 after years of setbacks (the existing installations of the brewery turned out to be too old or too large; while co-investor Michel Simon left the firm) a new manager was appointed to put things in order. Brewmaster Jerôme, a medical biologist, keeps an eye on the fully automated brewing process.

Cask handpull at Westgate JDW, Canterbury. Thanks to maeib for identifying this one. Cloudy russet colour with lasting thick beige head. Sweet raspberry aroma, like kids sweets, bit of sourness in mouth, bit medicinal. Served very cold. Really overly sweet. Like raspberry ripple ice cream on end. Not awful, but it is ovely sweet in mouth even though the aftertaste is pretty good.

Cask at JDW, Penny Black, Bicester 22-10-06. I read from the Thomas Hardy thread on the Forum that this is sold as Ecaussinnes Fruit Beer. Red slightly hazy beer, taste not too disimilar to vimto though only sweeter and far worse, It would be hard to say anything positive about this beer as it really wasn’t my thing it tasted far too artificial and sweet for me.

Pours a hazy gold into a tulip. Conglomerate head leaves splotchy lacing as it recedes. Bread, hay and soap aromas. Sweet honey from start to finish. Fizzy then flat. Cloying. I can feel a headache coming on...

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, dark, reddish brown with a creamy, beige head. Very spicy aroma - almost like Undrrberg or Fernet Branca. Full-bodied with very sweet notes of brown sugar and roasted malt. Some licorice and then again these very spicy accents that I rather associate with a digestive alcohol. Dry, lightly bitter and rather alcoholic finish. 240906

Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Clear, golden ale with a white head. The aroma has cellar, alcohol, candi-sugar, some fruityness and a hint of the inside of a balloon. Candi, spices, cellar and fruits in the flavor. Dusty, sweet and watery in the mouth. Drying finish. Somehow this beer reminded me of a tripel, and I was surprised to sense the alcohol that much, after all it is only 5% ABV. (060823)
